Oh yeah, sure. What about those of us who own NEW cars??? My new car happened
to come with Halogen headlights. What do you want me to do, replace them???
I'll tell you what - everybody who reads this should send you their name and
address, make, model and year car, and YOU can replace their headlights for
them!! (I have a 1985 Mercury Lynx, and you can send the replacements to
444 Hoes Lane, Piscataway, NJ 08854)

By the way -  my car has a nice little feature - the lights can be flashed 
on by pulling the turn indicator arm. The resulting flash is at least *five

you flash their dull yellow lights at me - I REALLY give it to 'em!!!
headlights at me, I have a nasty little
